[QUOTE="Seabeeken, post: 2349219, member: 68015"] Temp Sensitivity for the most part has gotten blown out of whack IMO. If you are working with a load developed using ball powder near max at say <50 deg and go shoot at 100 deg, then you may get pressure. 1 fps per degree seems the norm for ball powder. The Ramshot line is some of the least temp sensitive ball powder I've used and is made by PB Clermont in europe. In the end, temp sens. may be important to the 1,000 yd shooter but not so much for the 400 yd hunter. The only way to know is to test it at the range in your rifle. I was doing 400 yd neck shots on WT deer long before this temp sensitivity thing ever started and no issues. I cant ever recall a misfire that I could say way caused by temp but I've only hunted down to about 5 deg [/QUOTE]
